I can sort-of reproduce the issue, the key (very occasionally only) gets stuck, but hitting the stuck key stops it again. I suspect this is a race in the xkb autorepeat code triggered only by the kbd driver.
Either way, since it's not reproducible with evdev and it's hard enough to reproduce with kbd I'm punting it to 1.7.1 instead. This won't hold up the release.
